■ The dizzying wild vegetable table of wild vegetable pickers at 1219m above sea level Ilwolsan Mountain, famous for the largest wild vegetable community in Korea! In May, all kinds of wild vegetables show off their green color as if they had been waiting for this moment. For wild vegetable pickers who have been waiting for this moment, 24 hours in a day feel incredibly short. Lee Dong-yeon, who has been picking wild vegetables for 50 years, skillfully looks over the wild vegetables scattered throughout the mountain today as well. Everything you see when you climb the mountain, such as asparagus root, crown daisy, ostrich fern, and chamnamul, is wild vegetable that will take care of your meals. Following his wild vegetable philosophy, he does not dig up the wild vegetables by the roots but only picks the shoots and comes down from the mountain. We meet the wild vegetable pickers of Ilwolsan Mountain, who do not shy away from high and rugged mountains, and the dizzying wild vegetable table they prepare. ■ Daeti-gol remote village, 'Home Alone' Black Goat Grandmother Daeti-gol, where slash-and-burn farmers lived by cultivating the mountain, is the remote village at the top of Ilwolsan Mountain, where the sun and moon meet first. An 80-year-old grandmother lives here, raising black goats and cultivating a vegetable garden all by herself. Grandmother Lee Eul-ok always smiles brightly to her children who come running down the rugged mountain path. She tells them not to worry, that they are healthy because they live in Ilwolsan Mountain with good water and clean air. The grandmother's appearance, welcoming her family with things she grew and picked herself in the mountain, resembles Ilwolsan Mountain, which gives everything. Taste the mountain delicacies filled with the love of a mother who raised nine children while cultivating the mountain. ■ Ilwolsan Mountain, the beginning of the Nakdonggang River - The story of the change of seasons in Munam-ri Village The beginning of countless lives that Ilwolsan Mountain holds is water. Ilwolsan Mountain, the source of the Nakdonggang River, has clear water flowing through every valley, enriching the life of the mountain. Banbyeoncheon, which starts from the root spring and flows along the mountain ridge, is the lifeline of a barren mountain village. In Munam-ri, simple dishes made with nature and water are served on the table. Meju is made with the spring water of Ilwolsan and mejugochujang is made, making the table more delicious, and freshwater fish caught in Banbyeoncheon are cleaned and boiled to make vegetable porridge. Ilwolsan, which embraces everything like a mother’s embrace, visits the village touched by its generous hands. ■ That’s how dazzling spring days go - medicinal herbs, native honey, and flowers Ilwolsan wears green clothes embroidered with wildflowers in spring. Wildflowers raise native bees on every high and deep ridge, and in every corner, roots, leaves, and all kinds of medicinal herbs show off their colors. Between the mountains that seem to touch the sky, people sweetly reminisce about the past and train their bodies and minds. Those who say that everything that grows on Mt. Ilwol is a treasure and a medicine, Mt. Ilwol, which holds an abundance of precious medicinal herbs and flowers that you should not miss, has given us another refreshing spring this year. We encounter the shining spring days of people who live obediently, leaning on the mountain. Korean Table (Thursdays at 7:40 PM, KBS1) “Welcome, it’s still spring, Mt.
